5 CERN/FC/ CERN/ Background This document sets out the scale of contributions for 2018, as established in application of the revised arrangements for the calculation of the scale of Member States contributions adopted by the Council in December These arrangements were introduced to provide more stability from one year to another and to allow the scale to be approved earlier in the year, in June instead of December. In accordance with the Council s decision, the scale of contributions for 2018 is based on the arithmetic average of Net National Income (NNI) 2 at factor cost for the years 2013 to 2015, each year s NNI having been converted into Swiss francs using the corresponding annual average exchange rate. As stipulated in Article VII of the Convention, the scale of contributions is submitted to the Council for approval, following a recommendation by the Finance Committee confirming its correct calculation. The following information has been used to calculate the scale of contributions for the year 2018: for all Member States except Bugaria and Romania, the Net National Income (NNI) of each Member State at factor cost in national currency for the years 2013 to 2015, as published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, Paris); the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Bulgaria in national Bulgarian National Bank; the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Cyprus in national Statistical Service of Cyprus; the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of India 3 in national currency for the years 2013 to 2015 as published by the National Institute of Statistics; the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Romania in national Romanian National Institute of Statistics; the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Serbia in national Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia; the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Pakistan 4 in national Pakistan Bureau of Statistics; 1 CERN/FC/5383 CERN/ Net National Income (NNI) is the aggregate value of the balances of net primary income summed over all sectors. Gross National Income (GNI) less consumption of fixed capital from GNI gives Net National Income (NNI) at market prices; the NNI less indirect taxes plus operating subsidies gives the NNI at factor cost. 3 The fiscal year in India starts on 1 April, whereas CERN s budget year is a calendar year. For the calendar years 2012 to 2015 the statistical data for India for the fiscal years from 1 April 2012 to 30 March 2015 were used. 4 The fiscal year in Pakistan starts on 1 July, whereas CERN s budget year is a calendar year. For the calendar years 2013 to 2015 the statistical data for Pakistan for the fiscal years from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2015 were used.

In accordance with the document CERN/2629 7, the NNI values for Bulgaria, Cyprus, India, Pakistan, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine have been estimated by applying an NNI/GDP ratio of 71.84% for 2013, 71.68% for 2014 and 71.77% for Figure 1 shows the contributions by Member State in percentages, computed from the arithmetic average Net National Income at factor cost and expressed in MCHF using the annual average exchange rates for 2013 to Cyprus became an Associate Member State in the pre-stage to Membership on 1 April 2016 and will pay the statutory minimum contribution of 1 MCHF in 2018, as provided for in Council Resolution CERN/3034/RA. Serbia became an Associate Member State in the pre-stage to Membership on 15 March It is assumed that Serbia will become a Member State and will pay 100% of its theoretical Member State contribution in 2018, as provided for in Council Resolution CERN/2999/RA. India became an Associate Member State on 16 January 2017 and will pay 10% of its theoretical contribution in 2018, as provided for in Council Resolution CERN/3274/RA. Pakistan became an Associate Member State on 31 July 2015 and will pay 10% of its theoretical contribution in 2018, as provided for in Council Resolution CERN/3142/RA. Turkey became an Associate Member State on 6 May 2015 and will pay 10% of its theoretical contribution in 2018, as provided for in Council Resolution CERN/3106/RA. 5 The fiscal year in India starts on 1 April, whereas CERN s budget year is a calendar year. For the calendar years 2012 to 2015 the statistical data for India for the fiscal years from 1 April 2012 to 30 March 2015 were used. 6 The fiscal year in Pakistan starts on 1 July, whereas CERN s budget year is a calendar year. For the calendar years 2013 to 2015 the statistical data for Pakistan for the fiscal years from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2015 were used. 7 CERN/2629 New method of calculating the Member States contributions as from 2006.
